自相矛盾
The Spear and the Shield Paradox
在古代的中国，有一个卖兵器的小贩。他总是能说出有些很厉害的话来吸引顾客。有一天，他在集市上摆摊卖他的长矛和盾牌。
In ancient China, there was a peddler who sold weapons. He always said impressive things to attract customers. One day, he set up a stall at the market to sell his spears and shields.
他首要拿起一支长矛，高声叫卖：“快来看啊！这是我家传的没敌长矛，它能刺穿任何盾牌，无什么东西能够挡住它！”大众听了都很好奇，纷纷围了过来。
First, he picked up a spear and shouted, "Come and see! This is my familys invincible spear. It can pierce through any shield, and nothing can stop it!" Everyone was curious and gathered around.
接着，小贩又拿起一个盾牌，自信满满地说：“还有这个盾牌，它亦是没敌的！什么东西都不可刺穿它，任何攻击都对它没效！”人们听了更加惊讶，觉得这个盾牌亦非常厉害。
Then, the peddler picked up a shield and confidently said, "And this shield is also invincible! Nothing can pierce through it, and any attack is useless against it!" People were even more amazed and thought the shield was extraordinary.
此时，有一个小孩挠了挠头，好奇地问道：“你说你的长矛能刺穿任何东西，你的盾牌亦能挡住任何攻击，那倘若用你的长矛去刺你的盾牌，会出现什么呢？”
At this moment, a child scratched his head and curiously asked, "You said your spear can pierce through anything, and your shield can block any attack. So what happens if you use your spear to pierce your shield?"
小贩听了这话，顿时语塞，不晓得该怎么回答。原来，他自己说的话互相矛盾。从这个故事中，咱们能够学到：说话办事要前后一致，不可自相矛盾，否则会让人觉得不可信。
The peddler was speechless and didnt know how to answer. It turned out that his words contradicted each other. From this story, we can learn that our words and actions should be consistent and not contradictory, or else people will find us untrustworthy.返回外链论坛：http://www.fok120.com/，查看更加多
